Symbols for Process Equipment

The levels of detail for process equipment relates to the schematic type produced. A process
flow sheet will only show basic levels of technical information sufficient to highlight essential
process flow paths. An engineering line diagram of P and ID will show a lot more detailed
comprehensive information and technical detail.

Reading Pneumatic Schematic Symbols

5/2 Valve has 5 ports and 2 possible conditions

1.) B is pressurized and A is exhausted.

2.) A is pressurized and B is exhausted.

9/11
When the solenoid is NOT energized the B port is pressurized. The spring symbol defines
the valve position at rest.

The Block

The block symbolizes the possible valve functions or positions. Example: A 5/2 valve
schematic will be illustrated with 2 blocks describing two valve functions or positions/ A 5/3
valve schematic will show three blocks describing 3 possible valve functions.

The Actuator.

(Solenoid) Symbol

Pneumatic valves can be operated in several ways. Hand operated (including levers and
push and or push pull buttons) : Air piloted (operated remotely by pneumatic signals) :
Solenoid (directly actuated with electronic signals)

Exhaust Port Symbol

The inverted triangle symbol Denotes an exhaust port. The letters EA indicate this is the
exhaust port for the A circuit. Ebin turn indicated the exhaust port for the B circuit.

The Arrows

The arrow symbols illustrate the direction of gasses flowing into and out of the valve ports.
Gas pressure is supplied from port P. Depending on which of the valve blocks is in function,
the gas is directed to port A or B as shown by the arrows.

The return spring

10/11
The spring symbol defines the “at Rest” position of the solenoid valve. The spring “pushes”
from the side it is drawn on and places the right side block diagram of the valve in function.

The T Symbol

This symbol indicates that a port is closed and is neither passing or exhausting gas.

Pressure of air supply symbol

This symbol indicates the air supply port, in addition to this the letter P or the number 1 also
indicated the air supply port.
